About me

I’ve been moving a lot, since I can remember. I lived in many places, did various jobs, got lost and lerned from my mistakes. I was rushing ahead, rationalizing a lot, and my logical mind would always come to rescue me and found explanations. Others saw me as a self-confident person who knows what she wants.

Could it be? Did I really know what I want from life? I tried to find something that would make me happy. Something that would give my life a meaning. I was looking for this something and that someone – a perfect partner, a satisfying relationship. When it stoped to  satisfy, I would move  on without looking back. And then I got tired of all this. But nothing has changed. Not in one day.

Twelve years ago I left for my first meditation retreat. Ten days of meditation in total silence, no conversation, no eye contact, no entertainment for an accustomed to entertainment mind. It was it! I was not bored for a minute. I felt myself at a previously unknown level and experienced a total sense of security. I did not need anything and nobody. It was enough to connect with the silence I found in myself. I was sure that my life would change now.

Has my life changed?

 Yes, but not as I imagined. Not spectacularly and not in one day. But the transformation towards greater consciousness has begun. I had a strong sense that I was on my path. And that was it! My life is changing all the time, and everything that happened before this first experience of deep meditation led me right there. I needed it for that.

I have been practicing meditation and Mindfulness for over ten years now and I’m watching how it gently reveals to me everything I have looked away from for many years. I touch life not only through the construction of my mind but also through experience, and this is the only level on which knowledge has a chance to materialize in wisdom. Over the last couple of years I have learned more about myself than I have in my entire life. There is a lot of work ahead of me. I derive joy from it and I am happy when I can share what I have experienced with those who are ready for it.

Meditation is my second inner home. I like going down there to feel that regardless of what is happening in my life, everything is fine. Despite the whole spectrum of emotions that accompany life, I know that I have a place in me where there is always peace and I consciously choose that place. Since I’ve lerned conscious breathing, pranayama is part of my daily practice. I can switch from MOBILIZATION to REGENERATION mode more easily and I don’t acumulate stress, rather then that I work it through.

I still have a lot of work ahead of me. The work never ends. I enjoy it and I enjoy when I can share my experience with those who are ready for it.

Now I know, what I want from life.

Conscious life is essential. Without this, life is not worth the trouble that comes with it. But what gives me the deepest sense of meaning is beeing able to share my experience and techniques that help others to discover there potential and live fully a well balanced life.

I am grateful to many people, teachers who stood in my way, and to myself for recognizing them.
